Simon Gotch Clears Up Rumor About His WWE Release, NXT Referees Join Other Talents On Main Roster

Simon Gotch Clears Up Rumor About His WWE Release

A report started making the rounds on-line yesterday regarding Simon Gotch’s WWE release. The report in question turned out to not be legitimate and looks to only be a copy of a 2006 Pro Wrestling Torch report on Juventud Guerrera’s WWE release. Whoever put together the fake report just used Gotch’s name instead of Guerrera’s.

In regards to the report Gotch posted the following on his personal Twitter account:

Literally not one part of this is true, though props on possibly the worst fanfic I’ve ever read. https://t.co/03MpWY0xxp
